Lecture about the history of whaling on Long Island by The Whaling Museum of Cold Spring Harbor.
Did you know that whaling was one of Long Island's first and most important industries? Explore the rise and fall of whaling through local fleets which traveled to the far corners of the world. Be transported to a time when whalers roamed the streets between journeys, shipbuilders worked in the harbors, captains charted their expeditions, and whaleship masts seemed to pierce the clouds in Long Island's pursuit of the largest creatures in the world!
